Charging iPhone with the MacBookAir M1

A question to which I found no answer on google... and I'm sure someone knows the answer.


How many W will charge the iPhone connected to a macbook air M1?

10W? 18W?

It seems to charge pretty fast.

MacBook Air 13″, macOS 13.3

The minimum amount of wattage that is required to charge most iPhone models is 5W. The two Thunderbolt/USB 4 ports on the M1 MacBook Air can provide up to 15W of power (5 volts @ 3A) for charging external devices. Not quite enough (you would need a minimum of 18W) for fast charging.
